Exploring the Creepy Crawlies Outside

I’m trying really hard not to pass on my dislike of spiders to my children. As a child, I had one-too-many incidents where spiders got up close and personal with me. It’s not fun to be creeped out by the creepy crawlies of the world. I try to bottle up my aversions to spiders, and I definitely ‘deal’ with more spider issues than I used to be able to. When faced with a spider, or any other bug (which I’m ok with), I try to talk about them. Read about them. Focusing on facts helps.

Thankfully, neither of my boys seems to have an aversion to dealing with bugs or spiders. Damien is currently fascinated with spider webs, though I pity any bug that comes his way as he really likes to squish them. Aiden this summer has discovered a fascination for finding pill bugs (woodlice). Today the boys attempted to capture a spider, but did not grab its web from the right corners and it fell into a bush.

To explore your own back yard, all you need is a magnifying glass or bug viewer (or heck, a jar will do). Turn over rocks, peek into trees, and see what you can find!
